videos to stimulate particular brain regions

commonly remember 4 things, rather than 7. losing focus or attention is easy.

from just nine people recorded for ten hours!

What is this simulation made out of though? What are its functional parts? How does a squishy, wet, and electrically intertwined sponge generate the 3D simulation you are inhabiting right now? The Brain as a Non-linear Optical Computer (BAANLOC) theory proposes that the brain enlists electromagnetic waves to create a powerful computational medium. In other words, evolution has co opted the EM field for its massive parallelism, holistic behavior, and self-organizing tendencies, to unleash its computational potential with non-linear wave interactions. In this article we describe supporting evidence for the Brain as a Non-linear Optical Computer theory and speculate on how it may be implemented by existing neuronal mechanics in the brain.

cool

yay science

I wish this was longer. I had left the tab open and unread for ages thinking it was a big commitment but it’s a few minutes only. The question of “how do we prevent accidental activation?” is an interesting one.
